INTRODUCTION
Teaching as a noble profession contributes significantly in the nation building process. Producing
quality teachers should be a crucial aspect in formulating education policy of any country. The teacher
community plays a pivotal role in entire educational system of a country in the sense that the success or
failure of education policy largely depends on them. The efficiency of an educational system depends
largely on the efficiency of its teachers. Infrastructure, equipment, curricula, books and teaching
methods are no doubt important for quality education. Teachers are one of the main pillars of the
society responsible for educating young people for different walks of life. The socio-economic and
political development of any society depends upon a well-coordinated teacher education programme.

QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND ROLE OF TEACHER IN PROMOTING QUALITY


One way of looking at quality concerns the relationship between different inputs and measure of
student performance or output. The outputs are usually students’ results on achievement test,
assessment or examination. The inputs include a wide variety of factors, infrastructure and resources,
quality of teaching environment, textbooks, teacher preparation, teacher salaries, supervision, attitudes
and incentives, educational institutional climate, curriculum, students’ physical well-being and family
and socio-economic context. Another way of looking at quality involves measuring the efficiency of the
system. Educational efficiency is measured internally by the rates of completion, dropout and repetition.
Efficiency is also measured externally by looking at quality focuses on the content, context and
relevance of education. The emphasis on teacher-empowerment has grown from a variety of roots. The
idea of reflective practice assumes that teacher are professionally capable of reflecting on the school
and classroom situation. So teachers are capable of making a large number of instructional and
classroom management decisions. The quality of the good teachers would include many of the
following:
* Sufficient knowledge of subject matter to teach with confidence.
* Knowledge and skills in a range of appropriate and varied teaching methodologies.
*Fluency in the language of instruction.
* Knowledge of sensitivity and interest in young learners.
* Ability to reflect on teaching practice and children’s response.
*Ability to modify teaching approaches as a result of reflection.
*Ability to create and sustain an effective learning environment.

*Understanding of the curriculum and in purposes. Particularly when reform programs and new
paradigms of teaching and learning are introduced.
*General professionalism, good morale and dedication to the goals of teaching.
* Ability to communicate effectively.
* Ability to communicate enthusiasm for learning to students.
* Interest in students an individual, sense of caring and responsibility for helping them learn and
become good people and a sense of compassion.
*Good character, sense of ethics and personal discipline.
*Ability to work with others and to build good relationships within the educational instructions and
community.
Although the qualities listed above are needed in each individual teacher, teaching is not practiced
most effectively as an individual activity. The teacher is always functioning as part of a social network,
either with his or her students or within the school community.

MEANING OF TEACHER EDUCATION


Teacher Education related to the development of teacher proficiency and competence which
enable the teacher to meet the requirement of the profession and face the challenges in the profession.
It means the acquisition of that knowledge, skills and ability which helps a teacher to discharge his
professional duties and responsibilities effectively and efficiently. Teacher Education includes three
aspects i.e. teaching skills, pedagogy and professional skills. Teaching kills comprises of different
techniques, approaches and strategies that helps the teacher for planning and imparting instruction,
providing appropriate motivations, reinforcing and conducting effective student assessment. Teacher
Education has three phases i.e Pre-service teacher education, Induction phase and In-service Teacher
Education. Pre-service Teacher Education means education of teachers before they enter into service as
teacher. During this period of teacher education programmes, teaching practices goes side by side, while
they are getting knowledge about theory papers. Induction phase of training is designed to make newly
appointed teachers familiar with practices and activities of the institution where they are appointed. In-
service teacher education is the education a teacher receives after he has entered to teaching
profession. His job continues well only if he continues his studies every day. There is need of more and
more knowledge, more and more education for making him a better teacher.

NEED OF TEACHER EDUCATION


The teacher is required to acquire adequate knowledge, skills, interest and attitudes towards the
teaching profession. The teachers work has become more complicated and technical in view of the new
theories of psychology, philosophy, sociology, and materials. The teacher can be made proficient with
well planned, imaginative pre-service and in-service training programme. A competent and well
prepared teacher can be instrumental in enhancing the quality of teaching and learning. The general
ability to solve professional problems may be regarded as a competency. In a classroom setting teacher
competency depends greatly on his knowledge and mastery of different subjects and skills in using
pedagogical practices. In addition teacher’s attitudes towards children, their level of motivation, interest
and commitment and ability to interact with parents and community members also contributes to and
influences the quality of teaching learning process. Teacher’s level of competency in turn depends
largely on per-service training and in-service training.

CONCEPT OF QUALITY TEACHER EDUCATION


Though quality is a relative term but it can be defined with the help of its basic indicators. The
quality teacher education programme can very well be understood through a conceptual analysis of its
three basic components like input, process and output. Quality input in teacher education includes
quality teachers having sound theoretical knowledge and pedagogical skills, attractive and well equipped
building, availability of standard teaching learning materials and aids, well equipped library, need based
and relevant curriculum and meritorious teacher trainees having the proper aptitude for teaching.
Quality process in teacher education programme is concerned with the proper method of transacting
the curriculum, practical based training with constructive feedback system and democratic teacher-
student interaction system. The quality output aspect is judged in terms of pedagogical skills, personal
characteristic and enriched teaching aptitude of the pupil teachers. It is almost impossible to impact
quality teacher education in the absence of a sweet coordination among all these elements.

QUALITIES OF EFFECTIVE TEACHER

The top five qualities of a great teacher, according to students, are:

 1. The ability to develop relationships with their students

The most frequent response is that a great teacher develops relationships with students. The
research literature agrees with them: Teachers need to be able to build trusting relationships with
students in order to create a safe, positive, and productive learning environment.

2. Patient, caring, and kind personality

Personality characteristics related to being a compassionate person and having a sensitivity to


student differences, particularly with learners, was the second most frequently reported quality. Again,
there is research to support that teacher dispositions are strongly related to student learning and
development.

3. Knowledge of learners

This is a broad category that incorporates knowledge of the cognitive, social and emotional
development of learners. It includes an understanding of how students learn at a given developmental
level; how learning in a specific subject area typically progresses like learning progressions or
trajectories; awareness that learners have individual needs and abilities; and an understanding that
instruction should be tailored to meet each learner’s needs. One student eloquently described it as:
“The teacher understands the pace and capacity of the student.”

4. Dedication to teaching

Dedication refers to a love of teaching or passion for the work, which includes commitment to
students’ success. Responses often referred to loving the subject matter or simply being dedicated to
the work. To a student, this means a teacher should be “always willing to help and give time.”

5. Engaging students in learning

Students also said that teachers should be able to engage and motivate students to learn.
Researchers talk about three types of engagement that are required for students to learn: cognitive,
emotional, and behavioral. Survey respondents mostly focused on making content interesting and the
ability to motivate students to learn.

  If you think about the best teachers you know, it makes sense. Those exceptional teachers
develop strong bonds with students, and use them to help students learn.
